So I’m sure you’re wondering, what are these influences from the East? I found this gorgeous dress while shopping online at Kohl’s (I had to spend my Kohl’s cash before it expires!). I liked it when I saw it online, but I loved it so much more when I saw it in person. The Apt 9 Floral Scuba Flare dress has subtle Asian influences. The floral patterns and covered shoulders are very common in Asian clothing. What I like best is the neckline. The fabric curves up a little into a collar-like shape. I almost think that the intention is to look like a mandarin collar, but they threw in the V neck to modernize the look.
This is one of my new favorite dresses in my closet. It reminds me of my roots and it looks super chic. I found out this weekend that this dress goes well with the new Japanese folding screen we bought.
